    The ultimate insult in Cork, where there hasn't been a foul committed by the home team since the 1990s.

    We were chatting about that right before our second, saying it would be worth hitting a few longer-range shots, as Sava probably wouldn't deal with them well. Spot on. Looking at the replay, I'm not even certain that McBride scored our third goal, it may have been an OG by Sava. Hard to tell.

    We didn't start particularly well, which Shiels admitted, and I was fairly worried after Dundalk took the lead. We seemed to settle after that, passing better, and the goal before half time was deserved.
    We looked sharper than Friday, which we needed to be. Dundalk had some decent passages of play, but failed to create a lot of real chances.
    After taking the lead we were content to hit Dundalk on the break, who seemed to be a bit tired. The third goal was lovely to get, but wasn't really an entirely fair reflection of the game, I don't think.
    Duffy was very quiet last night, expected more from him. Dundalk seemed a bit more cynical than last year, Gartland was fairly heavy in his tackles, to put it mildly, Nathan Boyle is bound to be some this morning. Kilduff was diving a fair whack (which he was booked for, in fairness), and seemed to be a in an angry mood all night, for whatever reason. The team in generally wasn't as entertaining to watch as last season either. May it was just an off-night?
    Still expect them to win the league, it's hard not to admire the quality they have at their disposal.
    Great start to the season for us. Whilst I don't see us finishing in the top two, wins like last night will go a long way to helping us get third.
    Have you ever won the treble?

    Ha, I'd forgotten about that free kick, which sort of sums up the game. You could argue it was an accidental pass more than an actual shot.

    Same. 'Twas only Soccer Republic's highlights that reminded me.

    Stop will ya me or you or any poster on this forum would have won the league last year if we were in charge we played a proper team 3 times last year and were destroyed twice. As nice as it was to win it how we did it was a nothing season. Only reason we were in a position to do what we did last year is cos Russell played a big part in getting us relegated in the first place.

    Now I don't actually want Russell sacked now or anything but the whole ws are only 3 games in thing is stupid too we aren't 3 games into Russells time here and if he loses Saturday I will definitely be a lot closer to wanting him gone.

    I have been saying Martin Russell isn't good enough for about 2 and a half years, and their late surge in 2015 and walking of the first division in 2016 did nothing to persuade me otherwise. In fact I saw further evidence in both cases that he was not the man to get the most of that team.

    Russell plays the game the right way but is tactically lacking

    And you are spot on tbh. A manager who's team have the exact same weaknesses 3 years in has questions to answer.

    Just one more thing has there been a falling out between Fagan and Bucko? seems madness to leave a player of his quality out when the team is really struggling??
    Thought we actually started well, your goal was against the run of play and it was only after that you came into it. Second goal was an absolute gift (mind you, in fairness, so was ours.)

    On Fagan, I'm not sure what the story is. He hasn't exactly hit the heights, but he hasn't had much service. Does seem a bit mad to leave him out. Bucko might think he needs a bit more physical presence up front in O'Hanlon if we can't pass the ball as well as we used to.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
